About

Quality is what got me here. AI is what's making me better at it. I'm a QA Specialist at Bank of America with 4+ years of experience testing web applications, APIs, and end-to-end flows in a large-scale financial environment. ISTQB CTFL certified, hands-on with Selenium, Java, Postman, and SQL. A year ago I started asking a simple question — what if AI could handle the generic parts of QA, so I could focus on the parts that actually need thinking? That question led me to: - Using prompt engineering to generate test cases directly from requirements — freeing up mental energy for edge cases and risk areas that actually matter - Building structured prompts for defect reporting and requirement analysis that reduce ambiguity and sharpen communication - Using GitHub Copilot Chat as a thinking partner — analysing user stories, identifying what to test and what to skip, surfacing better questions to ask developers, and improving overall test coverage - Building AI-powered testing agents with GitHub Copilot and Playwright — including a learning agent that builds a living knowledge base about our product, accessible to every QA on the team - Continuously testing and refining prompts, because building reliable agents is an iterative process The shift wasn't about chasing a trend. It was about redirecting mental energy from what's routine to what's actually worth solving — and building tools that do the same for the people around me. If you're exploring how AI can practically improve testing workflows, I'm always open to exchanging ideas.
